This seems to be a tumbling flower beetle (Fam. Mordellidae) of the genus Tomoxia. I would like confirmation or correction.

found a match for yours
. . . and will move it accordingly: Tomoxia lineella

Right on.
Pretty sure you are correct as to genus, though several genera have been reassigned unpronounceable Japanese(?) names. I think Tomoxia was still standing last time I checked:-)
